Foster's FIRST Bee-day - Fashion and my Fellows

I did it, I made it one year with two kids! Jk, but not really. See my post here about having a really hard time going from one to two babies! I always go all out for the kids’ first birthdays, and then taper off a little from there. We like to go on trips instead of have huge parties, at least until they are old enough to ask for a party! I found this theme-BEE day-and loved it, and it came out so cute I wanted to do a blog post on it and link all my decor for someone else to use! Foster’s birthday is August 13th so I rented a neighborhood pool so everyone could just swim, and it was super easy!

Food

Beehive sandwiches: I cut the sandwiches with the cookie cutter here, and did peanut butter and honey to stay on theme

Honeycomb cereal cups: so cute, and such a hit

Bee Stingers: purple grapes and pineapple chunks on skewers

Mini cake: I used these pans and just a box of cake mix to keep it simple. I also used store bought vanilla icing and food coloring and just dyed it yellow!

Cake: Store bought cake mix, and store bought vanilla icing same as above! Candy bees are here, and I topped with powdered sugar. I cut each cake layer so it would be flat, and turned the top layer upside down to get the dark shade of the cake so the powdered sugar would “pop”.

Donut tree: this took 12 dozen donut holes but was such a hit with the kids and super easy to do. I made them the night before and just wrapped with Saran Wrap. Use toothpicks to “poke” and hold the donuts into the tree. Start at the base and work your way up. You need a lot like I said, and I placed them close to each other so you wouldn’t see the tree/cone. Stick whatever decor you want in the tree as well to make it pop!

Drinks: I served lemonade for the kids and Mimosas for us to stay on theme with the yellow color!
